SOMETHING QUEER

We. don't know what our local
Iiiercliiiits are paying for adver-
tising on the "St. Joe Page" in
the Panama City News-Herald,
but we can tell them they're not
getting complete coverage.
Last Saturday a local woman
who wanted extra copies of the
News-Herald of Wednesday, July
9, containing a picture of the Bap-
tist Girls' Auxiliary members of
Port St. Joe attending the annual
summer camp at the Baptist As-
sembly grounds, went into the
News-Herald office and bought
two copies of that issue. Lo
and behold, when she got home
she discovered there was no "St.
,Joe page" in the papers.

Health Test Goes


Into Final Week


Multiphasic Survey Exceeds
All Expectations; More
Than 1000 Examined

By LILLIAN F. McNAIR
J. L. ("Red" to you) Fuller, presi-
dent of the Gulf County Tuberculo-
sis and Health Association, states
that the response to the health
tests in the county-wide multipha-
sic health survey "have exceeded
all expectations."
His publicity director, Mrs. Lil-
lian F. McNair, has been in close
cooperation with Mr. Fuller thru-
out the planning and they are de-
termined that everyone in Gulf
county 15 years of age and older
shall have the opportunity of tak-
ing these tests.
Mr. Fuller also pointed out that
the tests are entirely voluntary and
that all or any portion of the tests
may be taken. He said that approxi-
mately 1100 X-rays of the chest
have been made and about 1000
blood tests had been taken up to
Wednesday afternoon.
Although the "Four-Way Health
Checkup" is primarily for the dis-
covery of tuberculosis, anemia, dia-
betes and syphilis, .sometimes cer-
tain heart a'bnormalties, tumors and
other conditions are discovered in-
the X-ray films, and are also re-
p fi 'd oi-t '*-:' ;-- '*- -
The survey trailers .'will be in
Oak Grove today, in the colored
section Saturday, at White City on
Tuesday, July 22, and will conclude
the survey July 23 and 24 at the St.
Joe Paper Company.
Anyone living in the above-men-
tioned sections are urged to par-
ticipate in this opportunity while
the trailers are here, or if anyone
missed it in their vicinity they may
go wherever the trailers are located
and get their tests.

neighboring city). Issue after issue
of The Commercial Advertiser an-
nounces the arrival of vessels laden
with building material from the
dying town. The most interesting
item is found in the issue of Au-
gust 12, 1843:
"The schooner Phrenologist ar-
rived at our port from St. Joseph
on Tuesday last, bringing part of a
large house, about to be erected on
-the 'corner of Commerce and Cen-
ter Streets by our enterprising citi-
zen, Captain H. F, Simmons. This
building was formerly used as a ho-
tel in St. Joseph, in her palmy
days, 'but will soon be helping swell
the tide of prosperity for Apalachi-
cola. This Ibringing homes from St.
Joseph and erecting them here
seems to be the work of magic,
'Adzakly'."
Nobody knows when St. Joseph
became a real "Deserted Village,"
when only "yon widowed solitary
thing" was left, as "the sad historian
of the pensive plain." It is certain
that everything of value was gradu-
ally removed. Even the chimneys
were torn down during the War for
Southern Independence to make
vats for evaporating salt.
Thus, at last, practically nothing
except the cemetery and the fallen

Kills Many Trees
A porcupine's tree damage is
greatest in winter. Turning from
gardens and grainfields, he can
dine on tender tree bark no matter
how deep the snows. If he chisels
a ring completely around a trunk,
the tree above that point must die.
But even spot gnawing weakens a
tree, leaving it vulnerable to dis-
ease, drought, and storm.

Our Country ^ Right or Wrong

NO HANDOUT
As we all know, the government is following
the practice of allowing companies enigaird in
work essential to war and defense efforts to de-
preciate plant expansions in five years rather
than the longer periods usually all.owed. There
are two reasons for this. The first is that some
expansions might be useless if defense produc-
tion should be curtailed. The second is to fur-
nish an inducement for corporations to risk their
capital in productive effort to meet an emer-
gency.
Of course, the more rapid depreciation rate
means temporarily lower taxes. However, in fol-
lowing such a practice the government is most
certainly not dispensing "handouts" to favored
companies, as a number of our local citizens
have implied in the case of the St. Joe Paper
Company, which is spending some $25,000,000
of its own money to step up vitally needed wood

Kiwanis Club Observes Anniversary
With representatives of Kiwanis
Clubs present from Marianna, Pan-
ama City, Chipley and Tallahassee,
as well as guests from the Rotary
and Pilot Clubs of this city, the
Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club observed
its first anniversary Thursday eve-
ning with a banquet, program and
dance at the Centennial Auditorium.
Valuation of County Jumps
Total assessed valuation of all
real estate, tangible personal prop-
erty and railroad and telegraph
property in Gulf county was $8,383,-
004 for the 1941-42 tax year, accord-
ing to the records of State Comp-
troller J. M. Lee. In contrast to
$1,095,283 for 1940-41, the passing
year was marked by an increase of
6W5% in total ai.: esi menr-.:The hike
was due to new tax laws aiming at
100% assessed valuation as com-
pared, to the present 25% to 40%
assessed 'valuation.
Button Factory Closed
The button factory at Wewahit-
chka was closed this week and the
machinery is being shipped to an
out-of-state location. Reason is that
shell from the Dead Lakes was not
obtainable in large enough quanti-
ties.
Personals

gomery signed up in Birmingham
last week with the Marine Corps
and have been sent to Paris Island,
S. C., for training.
Ben Dickens Jr., has been pro-

Ruth Coe, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Coe, had her tonsils
